Freelance Escapologist’s wife, Kim, is battling cancer. This devastating disease (and its tough treatment), together with financial and housing hurdles, have been a lot for the family to handle. But they are bearing up with great grace and positive attitude. This is not to say that emotional support is not important, however. It is. Caregiving is a very demanding role, one that never lets up for a minute. And healing from cancer and its treatments — well, everyone knows how challenging and draining that is.
We are making a community quilt for this brave family. So far, we have 26 messages out of 44 needed (I will keep this number updated). A PayPal link for this quilt project is here. More info below the fold!
What is a community quilt? It is a quilt containing messages from you, transcribed by me in archival ink onto muslin. My sister and I incorporated these messages into a colorful design, tailor made for the recipient. Each quilt is unique and very personal. They also have a strong vibe from all the words of love and respect. Words have great power! Believe me, they really do! Leave a message in the comments below and I will {{{{hug}}}} you to let you know I have it noted.
It takes lots of time and material to make a community quilt and it is a living for me and my sister. If you would like to contribute toward the cost of this quilt, here is a PayPal link— or message me for an address should you prefer a check. $20/message is suggested by no worries if you cannot afford to donate. We still want your message! This is a crowdfunded thing and some always give more to cover messages for those who are short on funds.
Please note, if you leave a message in PayPal or somewhere other than the comments below, please Kos Mail me to make sure I pick it up.
Check here for a list of our completed quilts. There have been 159 to date.
